Focus your trip on the Atlas Mountains and the Desert (Erg Chebbi - Merzouga - Zagora - Tata). It’s a pity because would be glad if you joined us (we are going with a off-road tendency attitude...).

I take it that you will be traveling with Mark Moon and the other guys off the Gsuser forum, if you are going for 10 days and leaving beginning April.

No. We are going in the end of April and returning the 1th of may. (In fact it’s 11 days...). Hopefully we will cross paths somewhere in MA. We are going in two old school (though prepared for a RTW trip) Xt600e, 1 xt660r, 1 S10 and a GSA.

April will be magnificent with loads of greenery everywhere and wild flowers after all the rain this winter.

Personally I'd dump the camping gear unless you are planning to wild camp. Most camping sites in Morocco are called that because they cater for camping cars (the French term for motorhomes).

Speed limits are sensible so keep to them. Especially as there's hundreds of handheld radar guns in use by the police!

Yes, agree avoid big cities especially Fez and Marrakech unless you are going to spend a minimum of two nights there—fighting the evening trafffic just so you can fight the morning traffic going out the next day doesn't make sense.

Where possible try to use 'R' regional and 'P' provincial roads rather than 'N' national. The smaller roads are less busy, the riding will be more relaxed, often the roads are more interesting. Avoid the coastal plain unless you are blatting back home on the excellent motorways. Instead keep to the Middle Atlas, High Atlas, Anti Atlas and the desert regions.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
